Action of Cricothyroid
Lengthens Vocal Cords
Action of lateral cricoarytenoid
Adducts vocal cords
Action of Posterior Cricoarytenoid
Abducts the vocal cords (ONLY ONE THAT CAN DO THIS!
Action of Thyroarytenoid
Shortens vocal cords
Action of Transverse arytenoid
Adducts vocal cords
Action of Vocalis muscle
shortens vocal cords
Autonomic innervation stimulus in the nose
Sympathetic = vasoconstriction of blood vessels Parasympathetic= secremotor to mucous glands
Blood Supply to Nasal Cavity:
1) Facial (from external carotid) 2) Sphenopalatine (from maxillary from external carotid) 3) Anterior ethmoidal (from internal carotid)
Cartilages of the Larynx
*Cricoid *Corniculate *Cuneiform *Arytenoid *Thyroid
Cricothyroid Membrane
*(aka Triangular) Connects the cricoid cartilage to the thyroid cartilage *Makes up the True vocal cord
Direct Blow to Nose
*Cribiform plate can be broken or dislocated, CNI can be torn from olfactory bulb 1) Anosmia 2) Meningitis 3) CSF Rhinorrhea
Drainage of Maxillary Sinus
Semilunar Hiatus
Drainage of Sphenoidal Sinus
Sphenoethmoidal recess
Ethmoidal Sinus Drainage
Anterior = Semilunar hiatus Middle = Bulla Posterior= Superior Nasal Meatus
External Structure of the nose:
Frontal Sinus Drainage
Middle meatus (semilunar hiatus)
Function of sinuses
*Lighten cranium *Aid in phonation *Provide air around nasal cavity for insulation
Functions of the Larynx
1) Open valve during respiration 2) Partially closed valve during phonation 3) Acts as sphincter during swallowing
Functions of the Nose
*Respiration *Olfaction *Filtration *Hydration/Warming *Excretion
